Keith's fondest childhood memories are of days spent fishing for Bass and Bream in knee-deep water in that great fishery. His introduction to saltwater fishing was in Eau Galley, Florida - fishing for Speckled Trout off Mather's Bridge at night.
During his twenties and thirties, Keith fished many local tournaments and all area lakes with much success. His total conversion to salt water fishing occurred in 1988, when he and his brother were given a Christmas present by Craig's wife, Wendy. That gift changed their lives! It was admission to the Florida Keys Outfitters first fly fishing school in Islamorada, Florida. They've been hooked ever since!
In the following years, trips to Boca Paila, Andros Island, Casa Blanca, Deep Water Cay, Christmas Island and New Zealand followed - as well as Homossasa, Islamorada and Flamingo. What a life!
Between exotic trips for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit & occasional Rainbow & Brown Trout, Keith fishes the Intracoastal Waterway in the Jacksonville area, catching Reds and Trout primarily on artificial lures. In December 2000, Keith and Capt. Larry Miniard formed their team.
